Autumn’s Accessories
Live online: September 10, 2024

Kaikodo LLC is pleased to present Autumn’s Accessories during Asia Week New York Autumn 2024. Focusing on a selection of Chinese ceramics along with Chinese and Japanese paintings, this online exhibition includes early pieces such as a massive spouted early celadon jar representing the dominance of Yue wares in the south during the Six Dynasties period along with later pieces produced a millennium later, such as a late Ming-dynasty underglaze-blue decorated dish created by Chinese potters for Japanese clients who would have greatly appreciated the novel “half” zone composition. Among the paintings is a robust yet harmonious image of pine and blossoming plum by the 17th-century Chinese painter Xu You, while a wistful 18th-century Japanese beauty eyeing her playful cat strikes one as a most timely addition to this Autumn roster.

These categories are but a few of the numerous areas in Asian art in which Kaikodo has been immersed well before 1996 when they established their New York gallery and launched their Kaikodo Journal. The Journal has been available exclusively online since 2016 and since moving all operations to Hawai’i in 2020, it has been the primary venue for disseminating their research and the exclusive forum for their sales exhibitions. Please visit them there for this latest show onward from September 10th!

Opening Reception: Friday, September 13 from 5-7pm (kindly RSVP)
Artist Lecture: October 23, 2024, 2-3pm
Charles B. Wang Center Skylight Gallery

The Charles B. Wang Center at Stony Brook University proudly presents Yarnscapes: Mulyana’s Environmental Tapestries during this season of Asia Week New York Autumn 2024. This exhibit offers a unique opportunity for the public to engage with the immersive and thought-provoking works of renowned Indonesian artist Mulyana.

Yarnscapes delves into the imaginative and intricate world of Mulyana, celebrated for his distinctive use of knitting and crocheting to create large-scale installations. These works showcase human endurance, creativity, and a profound connection to the divine and nature. He transforms simple yarn into mesmerizing pieces of art, bringing to life colorful, whimsical installations through crochet, stitching, and knitting.

Mulyana’s passion for crochet was sparked when he attended Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. He experiments with various techniques, materials, and ideas. Using durable and affordable materials like acrylic and polyester, often sourced from factory surplus, he creates intricate, modular pieces that combine to form larger, astounding artworks. Experience the mesmerizing coral worlds of Mulyana, where each piece is a testament to the beauty and fragility of our marine environments.

Curated by Jinyoung Jin, Yarnscapes promises a thought-provoking journey into Mulyana’s visionary world. All works in this exhibition are on loan from Sapar Contemporary, New York.

The Charles B. Wang Center is also pleased to host a lecture with Mulyana on October 23rd at 2pm.

(11am – 5pm, appointments appreciated; otherwise by appointment through October 4)

Scholten Japanese Art is pleased to be exhibiting Treasured Views: The Stipanich Collection of Kawase Hasui Woodblock Prints, a choice group of landscape prints by the 20th century shin-hanga master during Asia Week New York Autumn 2024.

The collection was assembled by Neil and Nancy Stipanich, who as a young married couple in the mid-1970s lived in Jakarta, Indonesia, and traveled extensively in Asia during their time abroad. In 1976 they spent 3 weeks in Japan – even climbing Mount Fuji to see the sunrise. The 1976 adventure sparked a love of Japanese art that continued throughout their lives together. These landscape woodblock prints by Kawase Hasui were a particular passion of Neil’s, and after his sudden passing, his family have decided to release them into the world for new collectors to treasure.

The gallery welcomes your visit during Asia Week Autumn 2024 from 11am-5pm with appointments appreciated.

Opening Reception with Artist: Thursday, September 12, 6-8pm

32 East 67th Street, 3rd Floor

Ippodo Gallery is excited to present Expanding Earth: New Works by Yukiya Izumita, marking the leading ceramicist’s return to New York with his fifth solo exhibition in the United States for Autumn 2024. Over 40 of Izumita’s latest laminate-layered sculptures, flat-folded vases, and tea bowls will be on view beginning on September 12th. Izumita’s unseen sceneries of earthen formations demonstrate his capacity to push the physical constraints of hand-built ceramic and miraculously defy the laws of gravity withstanding the intensity of the anagama tunnel-kiln fire.

Yukiya Izumita (b. 1966) has established himself as a most innovative ceramicist from his remote kiln in Japan’s north-east Tohoku region. He seamlessly integrates the geographically-specific elements of Iwate Prefecture—namely its harsh northern climate and rural seaside locale—into the black, yellow, and red clay. Izumita hand-carries the coastal clay back to his studio in huge loads and driftwood, too, is an aspect of his craft; his creations are born from what is washed ashore and the sea-soaked salvages lend a rudimentary salt-firing element that appears rustic and ancient encased in rare manganese glaze. Izumita seeks out a language of lightness in his sculptures that expertly disguises the heavy reality of earth. His designs seem to float without concern; the ceramic walls are shaped on paper sheets at calculated angles in perfect balance. The salt-rich clay is combined with Chamotte to emulate the rough-hewn texture and colors of Iwate’s sea-battered cliff faces like a fossil record of the passage of time.

Ippodo Gallery and Yukiya Izumita welcome a collaboration with Bronze Craft Foundry to cast a limited edition of sculptures from the artist’s original ceramic forms, which will also be included in the exhibition.

Opening Reception: September 12, 4:30-6:30pm with Tea Service
18 East 64th Street, Suite 1F, NYC

In the Japanese tea ceremony, everything is connected: the tea drinker with their artfully crafted tea bowl, the ink painting adorning the wall, the host, and more. Tea offers a profound sense of gathering and shared experience through art.

For Asia Week New York Autumn 2024, Dai Ichi Arts, Ltd. is delighted to present The Craft of Tea, an exhibition showcasing contemporary ceramic objects for the tea space by contemporary Japanese master potters: tea bowls, water jars, tea caddies, as well as paintings by master potters who also practiced the art of calligraphy. 

They are pleased to introduce two new contributors from the tea ceramics community to their exhibition catalog. The first is Mark Tyson, a collector, artist, and educator. Mark shares his passion for collecting and making tea bowls, offering insights into the significance these objects hold for him and the people he inspires. Their second guest essayist is a tea master from Japan, who has dedicated his life to promoting tea culture globally. Since moving to the US from Japan in 2022, tea master Yoshitsugu Nagano has been advocating for tea as a daily respite from the demands of modern life.

Please join them for a special presentation by tea master Yoshitsugu Nagano, who will offer tea drinking and object handling sessions with guests during the opening reception.

Gold from Dragon City: Masterpieces of Three Yan from Liaoning, 337–436
September 5, 2024 – January 5, 2025
Curator’s Lecture: September 6, 2024, 6:30-8pm
International Symposium: October 19, 9:30am-5:30pm
DCTA Gallery Tour & Workshop: September 5, 2024-January 5, 2025
100 Washington St, NYC

China Institute Gallery opens their the landmark exhibition, Gold from Dragon City: Masterpieces of Three Yan from Liaoning, 337–436, during this season’s Asia Week New York Autumn 2024 on September 5th.

Nearly 70 years of archeological excavations in the capital of the three Yan states — Dragon City (longcheng), today’s Chaoyang in Liaoning province — have revealed extraordinary treasures, such as a dazzling golden headdress called buyao. The landmark exhibition presents these precious artworks and cultural objects for the first time in the United States. Featured objects include sculptures, bronze mirrors, inkstones, imperial seals, and ceramic vessels, with highlights of gold ornaments and equestrian objects. The exhibition attempts to illustrate and revive the faded history of ethnic integration and cultural exchange along the Steppe-Silk Road that transformed northern China more than 1,600 years ago.

Marking a historic milestone, this exhibition stands as the first presentation in the United States exclusively dedicated to the cultural and artistic heritage of northern China’s ancient Three-Yan society. It will provide insight into multiple aspects of this heritage through four distinctive sections: Diversified Culture of the Three Yan; Mural Art of the Three Yan; Gold Art of the Three Yan; and Horse Ornaments in the Decorative Arts of the Three Yan.

There will also be a host of related programs throughout the run of the exhibition that offer greater insight and depth:

A Curator’s Lecture on September 6 offers a peek into the unique perspective of the distinguished experts who excavated, studied, or organized the exhibition. For more information and tickets, click here or contact Tracy Jiao at [email protected].

A full-day symposium on October 19 provides an immersive environment to investigate Three Yan artifacts alongside prominent scholars in the field. For more information and tickets, click here or contact Tracy Jiao at [email protected].

Their innovative art education program Discover China Through Art (DCTA) is for groups interested in their exhibitions. Each group visit consists of a three-part program featuring a presentation, a docent-led gallery tour, and a hands-on activity in which you will do a gold buyao headdress ornaments-making workshop.

Chinyee: Enraptured By Color
September 5 – October 26, 2024
Opening Reception: Thursday, Sept 5, 2024, 6-8pm
Curator Conversation: Saturday, Sept 7, 2024 , 2-4pm (kindly RSVP to [email protected])
120 East 65th Street

Join Alisan Fine Arts this week as they present their fifth solo exhibition by the late Chinese American artist Chinyee (b. 1929 Nanjing, China). This will be the first solo exhibition of her work since she passed away last June. Chinyee’s work, often been described as “Lyrical Abstraction,” is permeated with influences from both East and West. Her loose, unformulated brushstrokes reflect both Asian brush techniques and years of careful study of modern abstraction. The symphonic, colorful, and optimistic aura of her works is edged with dynamism.

Anchoring the exhibition will be a selection of works from the 1960s, two of which were recently part of the critically acclaimed exhibition Action / Gesture / Paint: a global story of women and abstraction 1940-70, exhibited at Whitechapel Gallery in the UK, Fondation Vincent Van Gogh in Arles, France, and Kunsthalle Bielefeld in Germany. Showing alongside paintings by Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler and Elaine deKooning, Chinyee’s A Touch of Red and Solitude No. 2 were part of a long overdue survey of female abstract painters, most of whom were overlooked in the decades that were dominated by the New York school artists. The exhibition also includes a selection of Chinyee’s works from the 1980s through 2018, both on canvas and on paper, many of them being exhibited for the first time.

“Painting to me is a process of discovering, shaping and reshaping my inner being. I work spontaneously – starting with a line or a dot, similar to Chinese calligraphy… then I let the drama begin to develop among the colours and lines under my subconscious control. I seek in my work rhythm, harmony among conflicts, lines with energy, and even surprise. I chose to do abstract painting… the language utters energetic rhythm, subconscious cries, and subtle poems.” ~ Chinyee, 2018

Enraptured By Color coincides with the exhibition Asian American Abstraction: Historic to Contemporary at Hollis Taggart, which includes 3 paintings by Chinyee and is curated by Jeffery Wechsler, previously the Senior Curator of the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum.

In addition to their opening reception, Alisan Fine Arts will be hosting a curator conversation with Jeffrey Weshler and Chinyee’s son, Andy Sung on Saturday, September 7th to discuss the artist’s life and career. RSVP is requested through [email protected].
